"Starting kernel" reboots


arjepsen

Recommended Posts

Hey.

I got an orange pi zero + 2 that I'm trying to run armbian on.

I've downloaded the both the ubuntu and debian server, and installed to the sd card using Etcher.

It boots, but when the boot process reaches "starting kernel", it reboots, and keeps in that loop.

Here's a link to a screenshot of what's shown on screen just before it reboots:

I've also tried the images listed on orange pi's own website. They boot up fine to a working desktop.

 

Any help?

boots and HDMI is enabled.

In case you still have troubles, start reading this. Make sure you have the right image/board.

yes, tried that image - tried it again from the link you posted just to make extra sure, and it's the same thing. When it starts the kernel, it reboots.

I've tried various power supplies - right now I'm using one rated for 2,4A.

Tried various cards to - but I dont think the problem is either the psu, or the card, since I am able to boot perfectly fine from the images on the orange pi website.

Quite sure my board is a zero plus 2 - H5

When do you get this? Does it also reboot? Can you describe your setup more in details?

hi @igor,

my hardware is orange pi zero 2+ (H5)

microSD regular card on 8Gb (i think it is transcend, sorry i left it at home)

for video output i've used hdmi only (with Philips TV and Dell Monitor)

used etcher to write all images

 

what images i've tried

built in firmware on emmc worked perfectly

armbian 5.34 - i see armbian logo in the center, so i assume fb initiated successfully but after "Starting kernel ...." line it reboots and continually reboots on this line.  (screenshot attached)

armbian 5.38 - i see error that "Cannot setup simplefb: node not found" screen flickers (no armbian logo), i see "Starting kernel ..." and it starts to continually reboot (each time in same place). (screenshot attached)

archlinux from http://www.orangepi.org/downloadresources/  black screen nothing happens

debian server from http://www.orangepi.org/downloadresources/ have boot perfectly, with no issues (made some basic packages update, configured wifi, etc)

 

so it's definitely on an issue with PSU, it was late already and i've not tried to write armbian back to exclude faulty card slot.

My v1.0 board, this image https://dl.armbian.com/orangepizeroplus2-h5/Ubuntu_xenial_next.7z and connected/powered to USB3 hub boots perfectly fine. With monitor attached. 

Boards might have a difference in memory quality/speed. This would explain why stock images work. Are you able to get some verbose boot logs on a serial console? Before you go for that, change cables, PSU, monitor and don't attach anything else to the board.

@arjepsen were you able to fix this issue ? i have identical one :( on same hardware + armbian 5.34, on armbian 5.38 i was getting "Cannot setup simplefb"

 

No - I still have the same issue. Have tried different cards, different psu's, different monitors/screens.

... until I tried to run apt update & upgrade. It instantly crashed. I switched now to a (trusted) LAB PSU and after severe stressing board remains stable. I am proceeding to upgrade, switching to beta, desktop install ...

According to this, the problem can be solved by reading this section and act accordingly. 

Nope, it crashed again.

thank for the images, not quite sure how to use them

- i should mount sdcard 

- place this images there 

- stop boot sequence

- boot with provided kernel

am i right ? 

 

Also wanted to share with you. I've tried to boot one more time with 5.38 (Armbian_5.38_Orangepizeroplus2-h5_Ubuntu_xenial_next_4.14.14) build without screen attached (only serial debugger). I do not see errors related to simplefb and have attached log file to this reply. It contains three reboots in the row. Do you need something else ?

Download to your board and install with:

dpkg -i *.deb

reboot. You can also switch to nightly (armbian-config -> system) and switch to alternative kernels (dev).

 

My board survived the night with this kernel. I'll keep on with testings.

not sure i'm following you, how i should download it and install on the board if i can't boot the board ...

Ok, for my part, it now boots, and I end up with a login prompt. Unfortunately I don't think the image includes drivers for the addon usb card, and my usb-ttl serial cable is still incoming in the mail. I'll report back when I get it.

It will take some time before this kernel gets to the functionality of the previous one ... I hope we will get better stability. What is missing? I noticed that gserial console is not enabled. I'll try to fix that asap.

ok, I received my usb-ttl cable.

I can boot and login - everything seems fine.

Updated, and installed openhab - fine so far.

Only problem now is that I can't seem to get the addon-board with usb ports etc to work.

Overlay support might be broken on this build which means you need to edit DTS(B) manually and enable USB ports ... development builds have rough edges.
